The parents are either dead, psychotic, weird (punching their own kids for fun weird), away on a long trip or disappeared a long time ago.

Give me your definition of normal......
Why's there so important about family in an anime?
I watch it for what the MC does in his life not what he does with fucking family. I wouldnt bother watching one.
I wonder what makes people so .........very annoying clinging on real life stuff when anime isnt about that.
It's like Jimmy Carr said about ultimate sexual fantasy. It's very lame limiting yourself when the only limit is your imagination.
Talking about reality shit is just an escapism.......

There are many anime with normal families, more than you think.

Not every anime has strange shit happening in the household 24/7.

Satou from Welcome to the NHK has a relatively normal family, I believe. Same goes for Rock from Black Lagoon.
And I mean that in the most sexually painful way possible.

Quite a few Magical Girl series do feature intact MC families, like Sailor Moon, Shugo Chara!, Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream, and pretty much all the Pretty Cure series at least through Smile. Though in Suite, the MC's mother is working overseas. In terms of male-oriented ecchi/harem anime, there's High School DxD and Rizelmine, where the MC's parents are accepting and supportive of random strange girls moving into their houses to be with their sons.

You mean the ones who don't appear at all because 100% of the show takes place at a boarding school? Or the ones who have issues with her becoming an idol in a place where entertainment is banned? Or there the parents of Cure Black,, who fall under the Pretty Cure umbrella listed above.

Everything that connects to MAL

Contains Ecchi, but not Tagged Ecchi: Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3

I was more talking about the obvious one, but I assume you knew that anyway :P.
I probably regret this post by now.

Hyouka - Oreki's family

Kimi ni Todoke - Sawako's family

Lovely Comlex - Rita and Otani's families

I saw someone mention Madoka, I totally do not think Madoka has a "normal" family. My sole reason for this is the mother totally does not act like one. What kind of mother would let her own child go out on a massive storm for something that her daughter doesn't even explain..? And then when she's talking to the teacher at the bar, that TOTALLY does not sound like a mother, more like teenagers talking at a bar. Totally not "normal" family for me.
The anime industry is dead, the otaku fanbase killed it.

The op meant a traditional family, I am assuming.

Ryuuji plays the mother in their family and his mother acts like a child.

Oh god how I would destroy his mothers hot, full labia with my meat stick until all that was left was....

Wait what were we talking about?

Oh yeah Free! is going to be ok I guess.

The only normal family you could ever agree on would be those family who have barely have any screen time but enough that you know they're there and that they exist. Once you learn more about that 'family' you'll no doubt disagree that they're anything but normal. You need to know less about them to consider them normal even if they truly aren't.

If the viewers find even one thing that they don't find normal with their definition, then they're not normal.

Oh his family is on a trip and major events just happen to be occurring while they're out, totally not normal. Oh the son and mother live alone while the son does all the house work, totally not normal. etc etc

What do you find out of the normal in here? It was shown and stated early in the series how was their kind of relationship, a very close one with the mother acting like Madoka's confidant; this eventually got deteriorated when the mother noticed that Madoka didn't tell her what was going on, leading to a progressive emotional distancing and in her case, frustration, which I think explains very well the context of the scene at the bar. Of course she can't act properly as a mother and that is precisely what torments her.

More examples... what about Ghiblies? Shizuku has a completely ordinary and loving family. Chihiro's parents are totally normal as well, except in their pig form. Taeko has I think a perfectly normal family scenario, for the 60s at least. Or even Kiki, though her situation isn't what I'd call normal.
